商品簡介
A study of the life and work of Herkomer, the Victorian self-made polymath whose enthusiasm led him to take an interest not only in painting but also in photography, film-making, stagecraft, and motoring. Drawing upon letters, journals and previously undiscovered manuscript materials, art historian Edwards gives fresh insight into the origins of the artist's social-realist work, his ambitions and concerns, and his links with the Arts and Crafts movement. She concludes with a fascinating account of his influence on Vincent van Gogh, who held his work in the highest esteem. Beautifully illustrated with color and b&w reproductions. Oversize: 9.25x12<">.
